I designed a layout for one of my FAVE scrapbook magazines that will be out this summer. I can't wait until I can SHARE all the details of what it is all about.
Then I designed a book for Gentry that was from a kit from www.concroption.com
I am their GUEST designer for the month. I really loved the kit selection. They used my Bella Girl line in the kit. (I outlined along the tone on tone pink scroll on the paper) This is a 6x6 Zutter BIA book.
When I got the kit, I KNEW immediately what I wanted to create for my book. This is Gentry's first year in High School, so I wanted to do a book that reflects what she did this year: her classes (included her class schedule/report card, her friends, taking drivers eduction, getting her braces off, how she practices the piano 45 minutes a day now, making the HS drill team, etc. One day, she will be grateful to have a book that documents her life at 15- almost 16 years old. I gave it to her today, and she was very appreciative
Thanks Tricia and Concroption for letting me play with your fantastic kit! (did you notice the Newspaper Flowers that I designed awhile back???? It is included in the kit)
I finished the project that I will be teaching in the UK in June. Thanks so much Louise, for inviting me!!!! Ty will be traveling with me. It will be his first time to the UK. Here is Louise's website- www.chepstowpinkscrappers.blogspot.com .
A couple peeks of the book.
It is a die cut chipboard book shapes, and die cut papers and assorted papers from my lines. I used some of my favorite Technique Tuesday stamps, and am so thankful for the photos that Jamie Harper took of my family last year during Spring Break. She took the most "real" photos of my boys JUST BEING themselves.
Jamie encouraged them to play and took photos while observing them. She captured THEM. I know Jamie is interested in doing photo shoots not only in AZ, but will travel to accommodate your needs.
Our spring break starts this Friday for 10 days. We are thinking of driving to Old Faithful (Yellowstone) and then Cody, Wyoming... then head to Mt. Rushmore. Seriously, my kids are less than thrilled with the idea. However, I think it would be so educational AND a fun (yet, long!!!!) road trip. So does anyone know if this is a horrible time of the year to go to Mt. Rushmore? Also, anyone know of any scrapbook stores in those areas???? When I travel, I always try to support all the local stores.
Sorry for such a long post! I still have a couple Melrose Vintage photos to post. I am so sad that I have no photos of Diane and I together. Next time, I go to PHX, I plan to spend the ENTIRE day at her store...just shopping and admiring the decor.
Have to go get weighed in the morning. I dread this!!! However, it's vital for me to keep on track. I was sick last week, so it's been over TWO weeks since I stepped on the scale. Yes, and the gym tomorrow...priority!!!!
